There's nothing in the documentation for MPW that you need for
developing programs with Ligtspeed that you can't get elsewhere.
As to which is better, it depends.  Lightspeed has a much faster
compile-link cycle, but MPW has a grillion features that are quite
useful to the professional programmer or group of programmers.
Which you need depends on what you intend to do with it.
